Mr Dhurai of Frasers Hill

Mr. Dhurai of Frasers Hill
It's been a long time since I went to Frasers Hill. So off I went yesterday for a project with Mr. Andy. The due date is long but at least it was a good opening lah.

Well, at it is same in KL.. rain come and go.. so the photography session was not really running smooth for the first few hours and kept us lepak at Razi place.

Then out of nowhere came this Dhurai fler when we arrived in the morning. That joker always caught me by surprise. He is indeed the government local information fler for Frasers Hill lah.. In fact when Prince Charles sibling was here sometime ago.. he did the honour to guide the royalty around. Many times he caught me by surprise and loads of empty laughters exchange through the air with the political incorrect serious tone set on fire first.. u know what I mean lah.. It simply talk cock.

me : " Dey, where are all the birds lah? I didn't see much birds on the way up. The magpies use to be playing by the road side.."

Dhurai in a serious frenzy fast indian tone..but no strong indian accents.. :" hah..you know why..this weather climate changing thing lah.. You see the world weather changing so much.. Use to be the migration of blah blah blah.. early September you know.. blah blah...."

Me : " Yalah I know lah.. but hardly any single bird man I see. This is weird for this time of the season.. Now already the bloody migration settling already.."

Dhurai cut-in : " Yes.. you see ah...the weather now is so COOOLLDD up here you know.. "*doing that hand kepit freezing thingy.. "Boon err, this is really terrible for the birds to sustain and who can tahan in this kind of weather..."

Me :" Oh.. yea lah.. Its quite cold and the weather changes and rain and blah blah.."

Dhurai " Yea..exactly..that's why I am saying....and somemore the local PKBF also got fault.."

* PKBF = Perbadanan Kemajuan Bukit Frasers.. Frasers Hill development authority.

Me...** hmmm, the local authority with the new renovation works should pop up lah I guess...

Me : " oh..why lah..what happen lah..the PKBF dig hole here and there ar.. ?"

Dhurai : " No... not that...Look this PKBF flers should know its cold right.."

Me: " ya"

Dhurai:" They never provide blankets for the birds!!"

Me : " oh!! bLANkets ah"

Dhurai cool only...

&^%&%^*((*&(#$%#.... this is the essence of the conversations.

The locals in Frasers Hill
Well, not just those is the city that has marriage problem lah. Up here also the same.. Its a world catratrophic but the environment to nest the divorce or separation at the quantum reasons are very different or at least the actions being taken lah.

CASEUNO NUMERO.. one of the fler was taking care and hugging her daughter to sleep lah.. So pathetic.. the wife run away and dont want to be with him anymore. I just pay attention only as the conversation was very much with him and Andy. So till one part where he strike a conversations that he wanted to use Bomoh and ilmu to get back her wife!! wow.. that was new.. I have friend using commit suicide and macam macam threat,..ehehe. this one is special. Using bomoh...but Andy give a piece of very good advise to him.. Later I found out from Andy that his wife not running away with another man but he is the one that coz it all. Go out and play play other women lah.. ahaha.. padan muka engkau lah that one.

CASE #2.. Another fler also going thru hardship. The wife wanted a divorce and wanted to take the kid too but she is not capable of taking care lah as she is only19.. Walau eh..so this man was almost at 30 or so.. So I ask why you gatal gatal go and get a very young gal lah.. That time the gal should be around 17 ania.. So u know lah...young fresh mah.. ahahah.. young fresh ..then you must be able to provide what the young fresh wants ler.. ahahah. anyway the wife cannot tahan lah as she think she need to enjoy somemore lah. So the wife actually want also some sort of security from him.. car, house and blah blah.. So I ask lah.. no car..then motorbike first lah.. That fler motorbike also dun have...

Like that I said you better buy bicycle.. ahaha.. can join the critical mass.

Well... urban legend..urban story ..macam macam ada.

For me.. getting good photos has got to be my story..sadly the story is just at it tips of the iceberg.

Classic to the max..

* Inilah guru guru...cikgu besar yang mendidik hang kat primary.. Bunch of committed teachers.

Bangkok Dangerous

The tension was high.

What is the best place to rest none then at the airport itself? Confine due to political unrest.

Free food and free stress.

Every dog has its day.

I am tired. I am finally back home. 6 bloody long hours of journey...

Yes..It's truely BANGKOK DANGEROUS.

Maybe it's time for me to have pet

My dad was raring chicken around our house compound and he is also doing some farming as well around the available space.. Trying to challenge the malay neighbourhood across the road I think.

hmm.. perhaps its a good excuse for me to get a pet now. Maybe I will start with roborovski hamster.. and then just in case my hamster got sick.. I can bring it to a vet... and the vet is a pretty lady..in case the vet is not a lady..there will be sure some nurses are... 

then I will take the vet, nurse and the hamster home..

Hmm..

Either I will take the vet or the nurse home..

One of them not following me home can have the hamster.

JACK ..R.I.P. 221108

There were a followup of a sad story on relationship that has been drama for like two years or more now. In the end, A & B separated recently..and both were in hellavu mess this today.

Yea..its about the case my male friend fella went and commit suicide and landed in hospital. No, let me repeat..he is not an indian. He don't work in Guthrie or FELDA.. He is in fact quite intelligent.. but not smart enough lah. well, at last he has to bow to fate and accept the outcome. 

So much of manipulations and all kind of deceptions going on lar.. 

Well, again.. the female of course was living happily with his current boyfriend and their daughter lah. I will not dwell further about the family affair lah..

I am more interested about this shih tzu dog which previously A & B bought together before they got separated lah. It was a very small young dog at that time. Mine I love to get a piece of this dog as they are playful and fun to kacau. Perfect for rookies sadist. hehe..just kidding.

Then when  A & B got separated.. the shih zu of course follow B the female lah. B love this dog tremendously. So the Shih Tzu stayed together with the new family which is B and the new bf together with the new baby and maid. 

Last Saturday, B went back to her mother home for awhile..and when he come back to KL..

...In horror.. she saw Jack the Shih Tzu was bloodwashed the whole face lah. Oh.. the bf actually use some object and wack that fella.... just because that bloody small dog bite him!! 

WTF man.. This guy is really horrible 1st class lah. 

I should not dwell further the outcome as I am not sure where the story goes..

But beaten such a cute dog to death is short of human sanity. Fuck it that fler.. 

Jack is buried in peace already I guess...

Time to get a new labrador retriever and name it Mackie. 

wEEKend ...oh ...wEEkend..

Sunday Lepaking
it'S 4.30 oredi and waiting for my date to pick me up at 5 for movie ler. Mana dia? ahaha.. then perhaps for foot reflex after that.. Well, the early part of the morning was lepaking at home.. as usual when either nobody is free or no pickup phone or no sms balik or until cow comes home sms only come.. Biasa lah...ahaha

Yesterday nite there were one bunch of malay flers eating durianuring mamak time man.. What the heck ? The oozing of the aroma was killing. So after lunch.. straight I go cari durian lah..what else? Manage to find a stall so gasak a small one first while maybe makan with my date for better breed of durian after our routine tonite..


BUTTERFLY LOVERS
I was driving just now and was listening to 988 afternoon radio show.. This afternoon was on songs that is of typical china style one. those that have china wind one lah.. taste, rudiment and rustic kampung style lah and whatever lah that give that feel. Yea, to digress a little, the chinese wind music was very well played though it wasnt really popular here due to the not so publicity of the chinese singers. Later with now the superpower title that now China is begeting and ppl look highly lah.. then china style/wind song was made populate and even more accepted when ppl like JAY CHou and Lee Hom wits and brains squeeze it into their songs. There is a new horizon altogether..but lee hom and jay chou style was rather contemporary with instruments arrangement that is familiar to our ears.

I am talking about the early days then the young chinese decide to adhere to the ever curious american cultures. Of course being easy chording and style like blues.. then at first we have the chinese blues gigs hanging all over town.. being the new John Lee Hooker.. opps.. not that far..at least B.B. King. but again the newblood was washup with new playing style and competitive chinese wanna have a piece of fame or at least has up the stage lah. Then blues was taken root with china wind...the beginning style was u could still hear the blues..china wind and blues colour in a song.. the different is obvious..yet.. you will be bored after sometime.

New playing style were adopted and hybird of the style took a new stage and especially the electric guitar and keyboard could do wonders... the showmanship now is on!! As years slowly evolve, we have china wind song that depict rap lah, slow rap, R&B, china wind and mild blues in a song. That is sometime how the economic paradigm shifting has change the world.

Back to where I was talking just now.. yea. I was talking about the one song that I heard in radio just now. That a song was the old chinese romeo and juliet in it. Yea.. the butterfly lovers story.. tragic and very nostalgics isnt it? Yet romeo and juliet is nowhere near this story..we have in the end the female jumped into the grave with his romeo when the sky strike thunder to open the grave for her upon listening to her outcry of grieveance.

Now the butterly lovers story in chinese is call 梁山伯與祝英台 or in short 梁祝. The story between Liang shan buo and zhu ying tai.. Shan buo is the male and zhu ying tai is the female.. she was a shemale at first not without being operations lah.. as that time she want to travel outstation and study.. u know lah those day man despise women stuff and this women wanna study wor.. so she act shemale lah..

hmm.. cut the story short, shan buo discovered zhu ying tai was actually someone with booby and golden hole.. and he had actually slept together with her for like 3 years without realizing it.. u said he went bizarre or not? but at least morally or the feudalism forbid him to gayhood i think.

dingdong dingdong.. zhu ying tai was forced to marry ma wen cai which is a rotten testicle..lanchun toi..

tHEN liang shan buo beh tahan and gone sick.. i think malaria or siphilis lah.. but the beauty of the story cannot change lah.. so that fella died..

on the day of the marriage to ma wen cai, tsunami-like jubilation whirlwind come and prevented the wedding procession.. the cut the story short.. zhu ying tai went to pay last respect at liang shan buo grave.. read top story for ending.

The moral of the story is dont simply tell ppl u are male when u actually female lah..

Now this fella who wrote the song which i heard is 988 is anti cough, the chorus goes like this :-

"If I am Liang shan buo, i will just let ying tai married and be happy and give birth to a beautiful cute baby gal..."


AHAHAHHAHAHAHAH.... Beh TAHAN THE SONG !!

and it was sung in chinese wind style.. wonder who that singer is...

This is not joke man.. The frame is truly made out of bamboo..It was not just casual Hanoi bicycle bamboo for going market or factory working commuter.. It was made for mountain biking as well. Now that is really one step closer to nature and eco-friendly isnt it?

Tony Melendez ~ The man who play guitar with his feet

Well, if you are in some despair stage.. Let me introduce to you another miracles example in life.

But I was i awe when I see Tony Melendez played that chord with his feet.. How does he do that? Our friend is a Nicaragua American lah. 

This is really something dude. How does he do it? That kind of persistent that run through his blood.. Well, no more yoga for malaysian muslims... beat the government with this new style of playing guitar perhaps.. 

Nada es imposible

Half way thru genting Sempah

* The sun was fierce in the afternoon and my ride started at 4.30 just now. I knew I could noT cover my route from home to Genting Kaki bukit and savour McD. So I told myself to cycle until 5.40 and then heading home lah as today is Mr. Chae birthday party ler..

Well, there are about 14km more to reach Genting Sempah McD.. but perhaps next week or so lah. Well, the rain start to pour when I was about to detour back...cat and dog and silky wet..It was a draggy ride at first but only at km10 onwards did I find the kickstart..life is like that lah sometime when your engine getting old...:p

OK..Ciao..need to shower and leave..

Simple cycling GPS data log

This is a simple cycling route i took around my house - air panas - setapak - house. So it's an easy plot..

It's Friday.. Party time.. we like the move it move it...

GPS data logging with Google earth..cool..

The magenta line with lotsa waypoint.. this is part of the journey where I left Tanah Merah to Penang.. The recording was about two hours before the pda battery juice out. 
* This is my route with omission of waypoint ler.. those are one hellavu of mountain travel. 
* This is where I start to log from Tanah Merah.. I set my waypoint to log every 100 metres.. There if u enlarge it.. you could see how many seconds i travel for 100 metres from each point. You could also set your waypoint in how many seconds which you could see the chain of how fast you stretch from point to point.. 
* This is my routine going back home from office ler.. The upper vertical stretch is Jalan Jelatek and The long horizontal to the right is Jalan Ampang..
* This is where you see I record every 100 metres range as waypoint.. therefore the turning in to right from the traffic light is not recorded unless i record it in second or 50 metres or less.. If you observe the time from the point from executing the last traffic light waypoint. I am definitely stuck in the traffic light as the next point show more than 2 minutes or more. There you have the Great Eastern Mall from the birdview. 

The next thing to try now is to Geo tagging with the photos I take with my camera lah.. Then it is cool to know where quite exactly the photos were taken during the holiday. Let me try some during my next holiday..and wonder when is it lah..ahahha

Chinese New Year Holiday trip

Hmm.. we were having dinner..and thanks to Mr. Lim for the dinner ler..ahaha.. somemore got one rolls of cash to show off :p... ahaha.. mentah mentah 9 wong yeh blessing lah..

So the story goes was Teresa suggested that this time we drive to Hatyai and drive to Krabi.. Yea..that is a perfect idea for me. It was after all 3 - 4 hours journey to Krabi. I love that idea and touring on a different road in the neighbouring country is a new adventure lah. However Mr. Lim seems to be skeptic about the idea. So the the next people to convince is Mr. Kelvin and his cohorts lah which I think the chances is pretty deem.. Mentah2 dia sekarang sudah pakai BMW. Takut kena rompak half way.

I can't seems to understand the mediocrity of malaysians ler. Takut ini dan itu lah.. konon wanna show adventure.. Horseshit lor...

Always it is a journey to remember. Sometime going with the wrong which oppose to the idea is rather destructive. So it is rather to make sure the ppl are comfortable with the journey ler.

Well, just like Laos trips that cut through lotsa mountains and hours and hours of journey. You gotta learn to love the journey and experience it and it will be a sweet memories in your mind.

I preferred such routes and it give a deeper understanding about a journey and open up your capacity to get to know the world more. Just to bad ler most of the gang of the group are just LMF..ahaha..

A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving. ~Lao Tzu

* The best part about being a anak Kelantan.. your head is insured by God!! 
* typical coffeeshop lah..lotsa ppl lepak in da afternoon also...

I was in for 3 days training for customer Kota Bahru. Of course being a Islamic state.. there is no frill entertainment lah.. and guess what... no cinema too!! Damn..I was lucky to watch Madagascar when I reached Penang two days ago. 

So our second day training ends early and I was release early lah.. Except for K B mall which quite resemblence to typical Jaya Jusco.. nothing much to hop around.. I havent been to the Tesco actually. So I decided to go to the beach which is about 10km away from old town. It's called Pantai Cahaya Bulan. Not a bad place to get some sea breeze lah. 

Hmm.. But I love Penang food more!! Hehe.. Had dinner at Gu Kan Tang with client just now before heading back to KL.. When I arrived two days ago.. wanna go Lorong Selamat for the Keow teow one.. tak buka lah..alahai..apalah nasib.. but have no fear.. lotsa good food to savour in Penang one. Well, I stayed in Heritage hotel again for two days. 

Well, I think I could cover about 30% of the town areas street quite well ler. Went for blind man massage when I arrived the next day. It was a 5 hours drive from Kelantan and two hours driving in rain and mist.. Crack my eyeballs like hell man.. Its seem the the Good Year Ducaro GA tyre could take lotsa grip as well...not bad for a stock tyres from Proton actually. 

Hmmm.. the blind man who massage me used to work in KL before. He got lotsa frens in Genting Klang and Ampang area too. Had a son which is 5 years old and his wife is not really well and diagnose with epilepsy. So it was a tough battle for him to fight as both him and the wife is not physical healthy lah. It really sadden me ler.. we just need to remind ourselves again to be grateful of not physically impair ler. 

Business in these blind man massage works in rotational basis and he told me I am the first customer for the day. Well, whatever it is, we must in our capacity and beyond to assist those who needed our assistance with the power and strength that is given to us. Do what you can and happy to help those in the needy. 

Again.. I got some reading to do now.. CIAO
